"Crows Encounters of the Bird Kind" is one of those episodes where the subplot outshines the main plot. That's not to say Tina's storyline is bad by any means, as it does contain ample laughs and some decent moments between her and Bob. However, I was much more invested with Linda's "Dare-y Queen" B-plot this time around. I always love it when she's the wild card. I don't want to say Tina felt completely out of character in this episode, but her actions seemed more like things she would normally try to talk Louise out of doing. I know she can sometimes let her ambition cloud her judgement, but this still felt like a bit of a stretch. I personally thought this season's "These Boots Are Made for Stalking" was a much more satisfying and even emotional storyline that played directly to Tina's strengths as a character and even as a person. To me, this episode was a marginal step backwards, albeit not to an insulting degree. There is still a decent lesson gotten across, and enough laughs to make up for its shortcomings. However, the dare subplot is what really sold it for me. On the whole, still a good episode.
